In my book, these things are pretty useless. If you want to get people on your side, get a group together and do good works. Maybe clean up trash from a blighted area or set up something to assist the elderly in a community.
Just standing in the street dressed in camo with an AR isn't doing much but making you a target for these antifa lefties and the government.
Police coordination and involvement in Saturdays protests appears dramatically different from previous attempts to keep the peace among far-right and far-left demonstrators.
Earlier confrontations were kept to a minimum by police barriers and lines that prevented the two sides from direct confrontation.
Saturdays protests have been marked by scant police presence among the demonstrators, allowing the two sides to engage in pushing, shoving and other contact. Counterprotesters have snatched hats and Confederate flags from the outnumbered individuals challenging them.
In several instances, those seized items have been burned in the street.
The “armed protesters” sounds like a militia to me. A left wing one. Just the media covering for them. They’re militia too.
Police officers have begun to move into the city of Stone Mountain but they are staying back from the protesters and not making any effort to keep the groups apart. Over loud speaker, counterprotesters are warning members to be prepared for tear gas.
A second militia group, the Confederate States III% militia, has now arrived on the scene, carrying Confederate flags and a banner reading, All Lives Matter. The group was denied a permit to protest in the park.
Not really, Im a hunter, not a stay at home and barricade the door guy....
